Coping and Treatment
Coping and Self-Care
Coping after a traumatic event can be a very challenging task. Suddenly everyday routine seems threatening and frightening, and it may be challenging to perform even the simplest of tasks. This situation affects not only the person who was exposed to the trauma but also those surrounding him. On Traumaweb we offer some advice and strategies that will help you cope in the first few days and weeks following the trauma, and get your life back on track.

Treatment
With help and support from loved ones, most survivors of trauma recuperate without needing professional help .

However, if symptoms such as repeated thoughts about the trauma ,fears and nightmares continue for more than a few weeks and intensify, or if they cause significant distress that interferes with daily functioning, one should seek professional help immediately. There are several short-term effective treatments available, each suitable to the individual's personality and the unique situation s/he is in.

For an overview of the treatment methods used in dealing with PTSD see TRAUMAWEB’s treatment page
